Motorcycle Funerals FAQ.
Are we near your town?
Yes. Our Construction Unit is in the Midlands, but the bikes are paced out around the country and do cover your area. Our proper bikes are run by professional riders covering all areas of the UK.
Is this unique?
Yes. The UK has no other fleet of 'motorcycle' hearses. Our unique enclosed hearse has design rights with a full British Patent, full US Patent and an International Patent Pending. No other company offers this service.
Can we have a non-religious service?
Yes. Most families use their local Vicar, Priest, Non-Religious Celebrant, Pagan, Humanist or other. At Biker Funerals God Squad CMC often serve. What type of service you have is entirely up to you, our duty is to provide a dignified final ride.
Will you come if it rains or snows?
Yes. This photograph presents an example of where the deceased's best friend sat beside him, in the snow! When its cold the Funeral Directors often lead in a pace car as a Top Hat and Tails are not suitable for such weather. This presents a unique and sensitive opportunity for mourners to share that final ride. An intimate and deeply personal experience.

my Grandma before"

"Give it some then"
"He was by my side the whole way"
British?
Our workshop is in the Midlands and we re-engineer our foreign built bikes. Our Hayabusa was rebuilt in 2006 with the advice of Vincent sidecar racers and our Harley Davidson radically reengineered by a Harley specialist to cope with the weights and strains.
We are as British as it gets. British Designed, Built, Owned and Isle of Man TT tested! We do all coach building, engineering and fitting in the UK. We have even purchased new British LDV vans as towing vehicles and are proud to fly the flag.
Are you sensitive and professional?
Yes, both. Here is a newspaper example of a sensitive child's funeral. Video here. This funeral was broadcast on television, radio and covered in many newspapers. This young lady died in a crash and our Hayabusa hearse was appropriately adorned in her favourite colour.
Can a child sit beside the deceased?
Yes. On public roads a child's feet must reach the footrests and a correctly fitting helmet worn. If the child is too small we can stop at the cemetery gate and help the child to get on there.
Are you smart?
Yes. Immaculate, smart and appropriate. Temperature permitting we try to facilitate requests for specific eras or styles of enthusiast clothing, such as goggles for British bike enthusiasts or leather waistcoats for Biker Funerals, but in all we do we aim to maintain dignity.
*** Are you available ***
*** Yes, but it is vital the Funeral Director checks our availability before booking the crematorium or cemetery. ***
